It’s (relatively) easy to conceptualize how multicellular organisms, like plants and people, generate the specialized structures they need for everyday life: cells differentiate to take on different tasks, such as photosynthesizing and breathing. But what about one-celled organisms? How do their components segregate within a single cell to develop head-to-tail polarity and unique structures, su...

In road base layers, geogrids assume the reinforcement or stabilization function where good interaction between geogrid and unbound material is important. The cyclic triaxial test can be used for analysing material. paper includes an overview of research primarily assessing influence parameters such as stiffness, geometry aperture size, position number on with layer to determine contribution ap...

This study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, assessed cancer awareness and service needs in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Findings suggest that cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the RMI and is, in part, a consequence of 12 years of nuclear testing in this region of the Pacific. However, cancer-related services are lacking. Assistance is needed to establish a n...

The purpose of this paper is to provide further study of the Marshall-Olkin log-logistic model that was first described by Gui (Appl Math Sci 7:3947-3961, 2013). This model is both useful and practical in areas such as reliability and life testing. Some statistical and reliability properties of this model are presented including moments, reversed hazard rate and mean residual life functions, am...

Abstract: In this paper the geometric process is used for the analysis of accelerated life testing for Marshall-Olkin Extended Exponential (MOEE) distribution using Type I censored data. Assuming that the lifetimes under increasing stress levels form a geometric process, the parameters are estimated by using the maximum likelihood method and the original parameters instead of the developing inf...
